the new church will have a membership of eighteen or twenty.

In connection with these services the new chapel was dedicated to the
Master's service by public expression; it has already been so
consecrated. I doubt not, in the heart of the giver of the funds, as
well as by the prayers of all who have been interested in it. Is is a
bright, pleasant room within, and has a snug appearance from without. I
think Mr. Reed has made a very creditable success in this his first
